Halfway through the year, continually amazed with Godʼs ways!

We had an amazing spring and while there were slightly fewer teams than normal, the weeks

were exceptional with powerful results. God is able to do amazing things & transform so many

lives even when there are fewer workers in the field.


As a family we have marveled & delighted in the gift of our daughter Nicole and how her

adding to our family has so thoroughly changed our family dynamics. In many ways we are

still finding our stride, yet its amazing how different our family is now. We canʼt imagine how it

was just six months ago. Sheʼs growing so fast and weʼre loving every moment with her.


In a similar way, God continues to grow & expand our EOC community. We have a new staff

family joining us June 2nd (the Alpertʼs) from Montgomery Alabama. Surely their talents & gifts

will add to the already diverse fabric of our multi cultural community. We are so excited to

welcome them on staff. Furthermore we are in the process of interviewing two additional

families from the US & Canada who are considering joining full-time. All three of these families

have young children, continuing to transform the demographics of the EOC Team.

As the team grows, as we see ministry fruit in abundance, we consider our next steps. What

do we need to do, that weʼre not already doing? Where can we go that weʼre not already

reaching? Who can we love that we donʼt already know? How can we grow deeper in Jesus

and with one another?


As we prepare to commence our 10th summer in Mexico we sense a deep peace coupled with

excited anticipation for what lay ahead.

We are so grateful for your prayers & participation in our lives & ministry. Together we form

One Body as the hands & feet of Jesus. We love you,


The Westerʼs

Nicole, Naomi, Ana & Scott
